Broadway babies shine,

credibility.*
Theater Geek: The Real-Life Drama of a Summer at Stagedoor Manor, the Famous Performing Arts Camp by Mickey Rapkin. Free Press, 2010, 220 pages.
* Ahem. The giant in Act Two of Into the Woods is not a he. The repeated lyrics in "Being Alive" begin "Someone to" or "Somebody," but never "Somebody to." All the campers would know this.
theater errors. sigh. What's scarier is that I saw the words 'theater geek" and immediately clicked. I'm hopeless...
ReplyDeleteYou've seen that movie "Camp," right? Where the scary teenage girl covers "Ladies Who Lunch"?
ReplyDeleteI haven't! Will put it on my Netflix queue. (Wait -- I do not have a Netflix queue. Damn.)
ReplyDeleteI didn't notice those errors, but I know what you mean about it ruining credibility. Call those spellcheck errors though and put your mind to rest.
ReplyDeleteI liked the book, especially knowing about the back stories before the camp was so known. It was certainly interesting.
